Awaji Island, Lake Biwa, Shigaraki and more: a list for those who want to spend less time traveling and more time at the destination.

Tips for Choosing
- Distances are straight-line estimates. Even within the same radius, routes and travel times differ between the Awaji Island direction and the Lake Biwa direction. We recommend checking actual travel time from your departure point via the “Route & travel time (Google Maps)” link on each property page before deciding.
- Check capacity and bedroom count. The larger the group, the wider the gap between “how many can stay” and “how many can sleep comfortably.” Confirm bedroom counts and bed configurations on the official website.
- Mind the pricing unit. Per-villa and per-person rates are routinely mixed at private rentals. In this article, “/night” and “/person” are noted separately.
- Book through the official website. TOMARIBI links to each property’s official website and official booking page.
In Closing
Even close to home, a private rental loses none of a trip’s intensity. To search with different criteria, search lets you sort by distance from your departure point, while map search lets you choose while viewing how Awaji Island, Lake Biwa, and Shigaraki relate on the map.
